Crane Bros. Manufacturing Co., 10 North Jefferson Street, Chicago, exhibited the "New Style" engine as illustrated on p. 121 of 9,16 and 25 H. P. In this engine as in the hoisting engines, the cross-head guides are curved surfaces bored at the same time as the cylinder head and concentrically with it. Any wear is taken up by tightening up nuts on two screws, the one on top, the other beneath the cross-head as shown. The piston rod and crank pins are of steel. Fly-wheel turned in the rim to secure its running true. Engine frame of a rather peculiar curved form to transmit all strains direct from the crankshaft on to the cylinder-head. The finish is that for which this firm is becoming so well-known. |
